We Have Got You, Momma!
Momma, it feels like we’re navigating a stormy sea, doesn’t it? From the whispers of judgmental mom groups and the roar of political debates to the flood of well-intentioned advice and high tide of social media, it can feel like we’re drowning in information once that pregnancy test turns positive. But let’s take a deep breath together, because here’s the truth: transitioning to motherhood can sometimes feel more like a farewell than a celebration, and that’s okay.
We’re saying goodbye to our maiden selves, and it’s perfectly normal to grieve for the life we once knew as we set sail on this exciting new journey.
So, how can we steer our course through the choppy waters of pregnancy?
What if we decided to rewrite the rulebook on pregnancy and motherhood? It all starts with the crew we choose to accompany us on our journey. In this vast sea of opinions and advice, our chosen companions play a vital role. Ever heard the saying, “You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with”? The company we keep during this transformative time is crucial, so ensure your support network empowers and uplifts you on your pregnancy voyage.
Here’s a little pearl of wisdom I once heard: when an elephant gives birth, the other female elephants form a circle around her for protection and support. It’s a sight to behold. These majestic creatures kick up dust, make noise, and guard their vulnerable sister. When the calf is finally born, the sisters celebrate the momentous occasion with trumpets of joy. This kind of support and encouragement is what we, as women, should strive to provide for each other during our motherhood journey.
Listen to Your Heart, Momma!
Just like the pregnant elephant, recognize that you are the best caregiver for your baby. Trust your motherly instincts above all else. You have the power to make decisions for yourself and your baby. Remember, you are strong, one-of-a-kind, and you should always put your needs before others’ expectations. Listen to your heart and celebrate your uniqueness.
“Our babies are hitchhikers on our nervous systems, so whatever we are feeling, so are they, which is why it’s essential to be their #1 protector.”
To protect our little ones, we first need to take care of ourselves, stay strong in the face of external pressures, and find moments of calm amidst the chaos. That’s the heart of our strength as mothers.
Here’s my wish for you, momma: step into motherhood feeling empowered, confident, and knowing you are the perfect mother for your child. Embrace the journey with kindness, recognizing that no path is without its bumps. Remember, you have the freedom to change course, to make different choices. Your body was designed to nurture your baby, and you are more than capable of embracing this beautiful role.
You were chosen to bring this baby into the world, and you were made to love and nurture this baby.
